(Solved) [Old] SyncDirs, Backspace - quick search with weird symbol

[Flint]

I noticed this by chance only now, but this happens in version 9.51 too.
1. Open SyncDirs dialog for some pair of directories, perform comparison. If the input focus is not in the list of files, switch into it.
2. Press Backspace key.
3. The quick search box appears with the Backspace control symbol (U+0008) inserted there.

Here the quick search box opens but it is empty

OK, I found the required INI keys for this to happen:

Code: Select all

[Configuration]
QuickSearchAllowNoMatch=1
AltSearch=1

Without QuickSearchAllowNoMatch the quick search opens, but remains empty.
Without AltSearch quick search does not open at all.

OK, I will ignore the backspace character when received this way, and just open the quick search box.

[Flint]

Why open quick search at all? Backspace is not a valid character key. I think it's better to ignore it even when QuickSearchAllowNoMatch=1.

I have set my Quick Search up to open with Alt+Letter in the file panels. Since the Sync tool uses the same I cannot open the quick search there because that dialog has shortcut keys - so currently the only way for me to open quick search in the Sync tool is with the backspace key.

Confirm that the 0x08 character no longer appears in the search box in b2.
